TUNNELS Act of 2024

S 3814, the TUNNELS Act of 2024, prohibits the U.S. President from authorizing any U.S. government business (by employees, contractors, or grantees) in the Gaza Strip or West Bank if it would bypass existing terrorism sanctions. It specifically blocks actions that would terminate, waive, license, or remove sanctions under the Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations or Foreign Terrorist Organizations Sanctions Regulations. The bill retroactively rescinds any prior actions taken before its enactment that allowed such sanction-avoiding activities. This directly affects U.S. government operations and funding in those regions by ensuring compliance with current terrorism-related sanctions.
